By Maayan Lubell JERUSALEM, May 20 (Reuters) – Israel’s parliament approved a bill on Wednesday to dissolve itself, potentially bringing forward by a few weeks the next national election, which surveys predict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will lose. WHEN IS THE BALLOT? An election date is yet to be set. Israel is supposed to hold a national vote every four years but early elections have happened often. The last national election was in November 2022 and the next ballot is due at the latest on October 27.
